From a big picture standpoint, I'm genuinely interested in asking Staff this:

When you roll out an update, are you first considering whether the update will be a fun and positive change for the playerbase? Does it make the game more fun to play?

To me, it's obvious many of the updates over the last month or two have focused on mitigating potato inflation, but in chasing this inflation concept, you forgot that the overarching goal is to make a better gameplay experience.

Fixing the inflation problem doesn't fix anything if the community is still disgruntled and frustrated. I think you are creating new problems by trying to fix other problems, and a step back here and big picture evaluation here would be best. Are your updates making Dappervolk more fun? Based on the majority of comments on the last two monthly update news posts, the answer is no. I'm pointing this out with only good intent, as I truly want DV to succeed in the future.
